What to Look For In a Custom Embroidery Company
When it comes to creating custom shirts, whether screen printed or embroidered, there are plenty of shirt printing companies willing to take your money in exchange for an inked shirt. However, when you are wearing your logo or design as an expression of who you are or as a representative of your company, you want it to look its best. When you are looking for a quality custom embroidery company, there are a few things that will help you assess whether or not you should trust them with your money and products.
Experience in the industry.
Naturally, as an artist gains experience, their work should show an upward trend in skill and quality. The amount of experience an artist has also lends its hand to improving the equipment used and working out the kinks in design and crafting your products. At Shirt Shack, our owner got his start in the printing industry in 1977 at the tender age of seven! That means he has a lifetime of print and design under his belt and loves to share his passion with every customer that walks through the door (or calls or visits online).
Proof of concept.
Anyone can say they can make your design and employ quality embroidery technique to create your product. However, before you trust them, you should always make them prove it! Ask to see their previous projects, whether on display or in an online photo gallery. Make sure that their products are made with the quality and detail that you expect. Check out Shirt Shack’s gallery to see a sample of some of the products we have made our customers. We only produce the very best things — what we would wear ourselves!
Reviews and Recommendations.
How do you know who makes the best products? Ask around, of course! You can ask for word of mouth recommendations or do a simple internet search for “best embroidery shop near me.” Once you have a list of possible companies to make your custom embroidery design, you can check out reviews and testimonials. Shirt Shack is a Top Rated Local® print and design company in the tri-city area, that boasts plenty of quality reviews from satisfied customers.

Tips For Designing Your Custom Embroidered Design
Custom embroidery allows you the freedom of expression in a sophisticated way. When you have a spark of an idea and set out to design your custom embroidery, it may seem intimidating. But, have no fear, you can just come up with the concept and let the thread artists at your local embroidery shop handle the creation of your design with the needle and thread. To get started on your custom embroidery project, here are a few tips to help make your project a little more successful.
Take your time.
One major mistake that people make when designing anything is rushing through the process. Creativity takes time and simple ideas can often evolve into beautiful masterpieces. Once you have your idea, draw it out — it’s okay if it isn’t perfect — and sleep on it before consulting with a design expert. Then, meet with the print and embroidery project design team at your local print shop to have it brought to life. They may be able to offer some input from an outside perspective.
Make it unique.
The whole point of custom anything is to have it speak to your personal needs and expression. There is no reason to go with the ordinary or the tried-and-true — unless, of course, it is your company logo! If that were the case, you could just grab a shirt off the rack at any national chain store and blend into the crowd! Let your custom embroidery express you and your personality as well as let everyone who sees you know what you stand for and who you are. Make your custom embroidered design uniquely you; make it as original as you!
Keep it simple.
Just like any art, when it comes to embroidery, simple is better. Since the art of embroidery uses thousands of tiny stitches to create words or images on fabric, it can quickly become “busy” when the work or styling becomes too intricate or detailed, thus losing your design in an overwhelming aesthetic piece. Our advice is to keep it simple. You can use several thread colors and include images and lettering, but remember not to overdo it. If someone has to lean in close to understand what they are looking at, it probably isn’t the best design! It is important to remember that unlike screen printing, embroidery will only take up a small space on your shirt or hat.
Designing a custom embroidery project is similar to any other custom project, the options are limitless! The freedom to create just about anything can be both liberating and daunting. But, not to worry, whatever embroidery idea you have, the expert embroidery team at Shirt Shack can make the perfect custom piece that you’ll be proud to wear. Whether you want your entire wardrobe monogrammed or you are starting a small business and need your logo placed on employee uniform shirts, Shirt Shack is experienced and skilled enough to tackle your project with ease! Contact us or stop by our Hastings or Kearney store to get your custom embroidery project started today!
Make A Bold Statement
Where Custom Embroidery Makes a Huge Impact
To those who leave their hats, shirts, jackets, and accessories as plain as the rack they bought them off, custom embroidery may seem like a frivolous luxury that adds a touch of the unnecessary to apparel and accessories. However, anyone who has had anything embroidered can attest to the fact that it is not only a modest upgrade, but creates a personal touch that is beneficial for more than aesthetic reasons. There are a few instances where custom embroidery makes all the difference!
Building a small business.
The success of a small business is largely dependent on having a good idea and then getting others to support it. When you are building a small business, presentation and appearance are everything. Consumers trust a company that appears polished, knowledgeable, and trustworthy in their industry. When you, as a business owner, invest in custom embroidered shirts for employees, it not only identifies the employees, showcases your brand and logo, but also shows investors and customers that you believe in the permanency and success of your own business, and that will help others follow. Embroidered company logos create a professional appearance and atmosphere. They also help remind the employees who wear it of what they are working for and that they are the face of the company, which can lead to more professional attitudes and inspire employees to help create success. Whether you embroider button-down shirts, casual jackets, semi-professional polos, baseball caps, or scrub tops, having your company logo proudly displayed can help build your small business.
Landing the job.
That’s right, custom embroidery can help you land your dream job! A simple embroidered monogram on your briefcase and blazer can add a flare of professional sophistication that makes people take notice and take you seriously before you even shake hands! When you custom embroider your outerwear, it shows to your interviewers that your appearance is not just you dressing up for the interview, but that it is something they can expect as your normal. Additionally, just like ads, banners, and logos, the more someone sees your “brand,” the more likely they are to remember it. Putting your name, initials, or monogram on your shirt helps the words stick in the minds of the interviewers. Embroider your gear to land the job!
Reclaiming your items.
In a world where everything blends together, it is easy for things to get lost in the shuffle. Bags look alike, jackets look similar, and when you wear the same gear as your team or company co-workers, identifying your belongings can be even more difficult. Eliminate your stuff being lost or stolen, and increase the chances of recovering your belongings when you get your gear custom embroidered with your name. There may be a billion white lab jackets, gym bags, and black polo shirts in the world, but when you embroider your name, initials, or logo on yours, it is easy to identify.
The simple art of embroidery can help turn your shirt, hat, bag, or accessory into your personal item worthy of display. In some situations, embroidery can make all the difference. For all of your custom embroidery needs, trust the experts at Shirt Shack of Nebraska today!
